Thank you very much for your fast reply. I had also took a glance at this
rfc and told my uplink´s system admin about this, but he could not believe
it ("qmail is well known for always being RFC compliant"). With your
opinion it will be much easier to convince him about this, I suppose. :)

Still, there is the question if you have never heard about others having
the same problems like I had? qmail is AFAIK a wide spread mailer, isn´t
it? I saw several other servers (here in Germany, though) using it.
Wouldn´t it be worth a thought to make exim kinda "tolerant among bugs"
like this one?

Other opinions on the list?
